Ari' nodded in understanding, all the while keeping watch on the battle raging outside the viewscreen.
Ari': "Okay, but, how does knowing who we're up against help us?"
Drayson: "Know your enemy, Cadet Odanna. If you know your enemy, then you know not only their strengths but also their weaknesses. For example;" Drayson began explaining, before turning to the officer bays;
Drayson: "Order The Prolific to move to quadrant 19, the The Aggressor to quadrant 7 and The Fanhide to quadrant 3. All Imperium fighters are to withdraw to quadrant 1 immediately and await further instructions."
Officer: "Yes, Captain." The affirmation came and Drayson returned to the viewscreen.
Drayson: "The fleet is far too close together - we need to spread out further.”
Ari’: “How will that help us? Surely that will leave us more vulnerable?”
Drayson: “Zarun hives have only two points of entry; the main entrance and an escape route – a back door if you will. This means that whenever the hive comes under attack, the attackers must focus their efforts on a single location. Ku’lk will naturally be used to fighting a single group.”
